Food Production

Food production is a profitable business. The demand for food cannot fall, people are always hungry. Therefore, food production pays for itself very quickly. Proper organization requires strict adherence to technology and well-debugged equipment.

Organization of food production

Proper organization starts with the storage of raw materials. If raw materials are not stored properly, they can quickly deteriorate or spoil the final product. Raw materials can be stored in containers (boxes, crates, cans or bottles), as well as in huge rooms without the use of such (bins, tanks).

At the next stage, the raw materials are cleaned of impurities and prepared directly for production. At the production stage, raw materials are subjected to various types of processing, including crushing and mixing.

In addition, the raw materials are thermally treated, if the production technology requires it. Chemical or biological substances, such as lactic acid bacteria or stabilizers, may be added.

The final stage of production involves packaging and giving the product a marketable appearance. The packaging is marked with information about the composition of the product and the manufacturers.

Technologies of high-tech food production

The achievements of scientific thought are intensively used in the production of food.

High-tech industries include:

• quick freezing of fruits and berries;

• production of bread from frozen dough;

• Membrane separation and membrane sterilization of milk.

This is not a complete list of high-tech industries. The technology of such production involves a complete restructuring of the entire production process.

The purchase of specialized equipment is mandatory. The whole production is based on the introduction of nanotechnological production lines. Energy-saving technologies should be used in the work. With such technologies, the production of environmentally friendly products is established.

Food Production Equipment

Equipment for the selected type of production must fully comply with all norms and standards. When choosing a supplier, you should take into account that it is profitable for him not to arrange the work of your production correctly, but to earn money.

At the moment, it is important to consider what specific equipment will be needed for the launch and how you can save on it, positively affecting production.

An important point is the installation of equipment and adjustment of its operation. To do this, you need to have specialists on staff who are familiar not only with technical characteristics, but also with working conditions. Before purchasing equipment, it is necessary to draw up a project for its installation and operation.

Production of organic products for a healthy diet

The production of environmentally friendly products is gaining more and more popularity. This is due to the fact that the demand for such products is growing every day. People want to eat healthy food without chemicals.

According to European standards, the organic origin of a product is considered correct if it consists of at least 95% organic substances.

Permit for the production of catering products

To open a food production, you need to have a package of documents, among which must include:

• SES permit for the operation of the enterprise;

• coordination of the project with Rospotrebnadzor;

• a list of products and a list of technical specifications for their production;

• Permission from the supervising fire organization;

• Licenses and certificates for all manufactured products.

All workers in the food industry must have medical records and a neat appearance. Special clothing is also mandatory. Hair should be tucked under the hood and nails neatly trimmed. The premises must meet all sanitary and hygienic standards, otherwise permission to open will not be obtained.

Automation of catering enterprises

The most efficient operation of modern catering enterprises is ensured by the introduction of automation systems.

The need for the use of high-quality IT equipment exists in many areas, it is impossible to do without it in:

• Restaurants;
• coffee;
• fast foods.

The list of additional requirements is formed depending on the type of services provided, the format and structure of the institution. Business processes carried out at different catering enterprises have certain features that should be taken into account when implementing an automation system and adapting it to typical tasks.

Thanks to the use of automation systems, the activities of catering enterprises are significantly improved: the work process is accelerated, the level of service increases, the number of customers and profits increases, as well as the control of employee productivity is strengthened, and the convenience of product accounting is ensured.

Automation of various processes at such enterprises differs from the automation of other organizations, so it makes sense to highlight a list of basic requirements for the catering industry:

• simplicity of ingredient calculation;

• assistance in the preparation of the menu;

• tracking the movement of products and ready meals on the territory of the enterprise;

• the ability to sell food at retail and wholesale;

• easier work with documents;

• reporting in the system;

• By taking care of the implementation of an accounting automation system, the management can competently organize the workflow and speed up decision-making.

Restaurant & Cafe Automation

In the restaurant business, information technology equipment is used to automate the main processes:

• sales. All processes performed in the service of visitors are automated (placing orders, transferring them to the kitchen, forming a pre-check, fiscal receipt, settlement with the visitor), marketing campaigns are organized. Bar automation is possible;

• accounting, warehouse logistics. Inventory, receipt/consumption operations of semi-finished products and products are carried out;

• control, management processes.
